No other product can match its combination of performance, ease of use, and protection for deck joists, which also extends their lifespan. The G - Tape 3040BK Series offers ultimate flashing performance with contractor - friendly features. It has an AAMA 7 - 11 Level 3 Class A rating, meeting high - standard hot and cold performance without needing additional primer. It's lighter than butyl or rubberized asphalt flashings and outperforms them significantly. This permanent tape can be cleanly removed from face - to - face adhesive contact during application without performance loss. Features include perfect for windows, doors, and deck beams; easy hand - tearing; waterproof; suitable for all - weather use from - 40°F to +200°F; highly weather and UV resistant; great performance and ease of use; permanent adhesion; clean removal from face - to - face contact; available in single rolls or cases.

Using the Nichigo G - Tape is easy. First, make sure the surface you're applying it to is clean and dry. Then, carefully peel off the backer. If you accidentally fold the tape onto itself, don't worry, you can still peel it apart without losing performance. Apply the tape firmly to the surface, like windows, doors, or deck beams. It can be hand - torn straight and easily, which is really convenient. When it comes to storage, keep it in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or cold for a long time. As for maintenance, since it's waterproof and highly weather/UV resistant, there's not much you need to do. Just check it occasionally to make sure it's still firmly attached. And remember, it's a permanent tape, but if you need to remove it from face - to - face contact, it can be done cleanly.
